  2. Только сегодня дошло, что Зал воинской славы на Мамаевом кургане — это изначально строилась #панорама, которая сейчас в другом месте. Поэтому и дырка в куполе

  3. Here is the finished first batch of 15mm WWII Soviet Cossack riflemen. I will not be making pictures like this for every batch and obviously looking at 15mm figures this up close is not the best either...

  4. 15/ Habe gerade mal nach dem #Milliardenkredit von #Strauß an die #DDR geguckt, die sie noch ein paar Jährchen länger am Leben gelassen hat.

    Dabei habe ich das hier gefunden:

    Strauß flog am 28. Dezember 1987 zusammen mit Parteifreunden mit einer Cessna Citation II 151 zu einem öffentlich nicht angekündigten Besuch nach Moskau[89], redete zweieinhalb Stunden mit Michail #Gorbatschow und zeigte sich von dessen Reformvorstellungen tief beeindruckt.[95] Gorbatschow fragte ihn bei diesem Treffen, ob er das erste Mal in der #Sowjetunion sei. Strauß antwortete: „Das zweite Mal, aber das erste Mal kam ich nur bis #Stalingrad.“

  6. The Fall of the Nazi Army – Trapped in Stalingrad

    The turning point of the war. Experience the grueling reality of the Sixth Army as they were encircled and defeated in the frozen ruins of Stalingrad, marking the beginning of the end for the Third Reich.

  10. Link posted not for the story, which is paywalled, but the comments. Which are exactly what you'd expect, and crystallize something I've been thinking about for some time. facebook.com/share/p/1ALyANXXq

    (If you can't or don't want to follow a Facebook link, here's the original story, albeit without the comments I'm talking about: <economist.com/britain/2026/01/>.)

    To paraphrase #UptonSinclair, it is difficult to get people to understand something when their sense of who they are depends on them not understanding it. And for a whole lot of people who don't live in the world's great cities, part of their identity is believing that they're different from and better than those who do.

    It's been thirty-five years or so since I was regularly walking around #London late at night. At the time I was young and strong and healthy and it was easy to believe I was immortal. But I wasn't stupid. I knew there was real danger and did my best to avoid it. Most of the time I succeeded, sometimes I didn't.

    (My fellow GIs' reaction to my habit of taking off for the weekend was amusing. "You go to London? And stay there? BY YOURSELF?" Dude, it's fine. The Blitz has been over for fifty years, and you may have heard that the folks there speak English.)

    The early '90s were a violent time on both sides of the Atlantic. London's #homicide rate declined somewhat through most of the decade with a spike toward the end, jumped again in the early '00s, and since then has been on a downward trend. Other #violent #crimes have declined steadily since 1990-1992. The place is measurably *more safe* now than it was when I was passing a jug of cheap wine outside King's Cross or watching my tablemate get glassed at a pub in Southwark.

    Oh yeah, there are no "no-go areas." Grow up.

    Naturally, a lot of commenters refuse to believe it. "You're just a privileged snob who never leaves your nice safe neighborhood!" "Bullshit, it's full of Muslim gangs!" And of course, the single-emoji "🤣" response, always your sign of quality internet discourse.

    This is not a problem limited to London. For many people all over the world, the nearest city significantly bigger than where they live is *always* a wretched hive of scum and villainy. So the biggest city in any country—London, #NewYork, #Tokyo, whatever—must be the wretchedest and scummiest and most villanous of all.

    It happens on a much smaller scale too. I've run into more people than I can count who live less than an hour away from #Denver and are positive that Colorado's fair capital makes Snake Plissken's New York look like Disneyland by comparison.

    There's also the opposite effect: lately I've seen a number of people from places like #Chicago and #Philadelphia making fun of the idea that anyone in #Minneapolis is really tough. "You think ICE is having a hard time there? Let 'em come here and they'll learn what real resistance is like!" I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were Muscovites sneering at #Stalingrad, back when.

    Of course I am quite sure that you, my dear readers, would ever engage in any such absurd self-aggrandizing rhetoric. Right?

  16. Soviet top brass gets the miniature treatment as Warlord Games drops their latest Soldier of Fortune. Chuikov - the man who slept only 3 hours a night during the siege - immortalised in resin, ready to keep your Wehrmacht players awake at night too. l.d20.ninja/yc87e762 #wwii #boltAction #stalingrad #warlordGames #vasilyChuikov #soldierOfFortune

  19. Wenn inzwischen sogar schon Donald #Trump die #EU weinerlich auffordert, doch bitte kein #Erdöl mehr von #Russland zu kaufen, dann ist es #Zeit zu erkennen: #Fossilismus schadet der #Mitwelt & tötet #Menschen.

    Schon #Hitler und die #SS verfolgten brutalstes „Blut für Öl“, von #Stalingrad bis zum sog. „Unternehmen Wüste“. #Wissenschaft #Geschichte #BwieBerlin scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-

  21. Picked up Undaunted Stalingrad, a standalone two player (resettable) legacy style deck builder campaign.

    I really like the first game, but haven’t gotten it to the table enough. Don’t know when I’ll manage to get someone to commit to a 15 game series. But I absolutely love it.

    Wenn der #Krieg in der #Ukraine nicht so bitter wäre, könnte #Putin mit seinen #Stalingrad -Sprüchen auch als #Witzfigur durchgehen.
    Was geht in diesem wirren Wesen vor?
    Dürfen wir uns von ihm einschüchtern lassen?
    Natürlich nicht!!!
